john boehner liked that. i guess paul ryan liked that. i'm not sure what harry reid thought about that, but the rules committee thought it was ok. but the fact of the matter is that bill was written while the rules committee was in session. there are 13 of us on rules committee. we love the enormous power that we got. but i don't believe any of us ever suspected that the rules committee was going to supersede all of the committees in the house of representatives. there's been no committee action on any of this. in addition, i want to make the point again in spite of what we tried to do, we said nobody's talked about this. there's been no discussion on this. let's have an open rule. let's let not just the people on our side but the people on the republican side who had no input here as well, let's open it up and have a real debate and see what's going on here. what is going on here? what's going on here, as my colleague points out, is a circus of dubious constitutional validity, frankly. some people may say it's ok what they're doing. othe

i think what john boehner is saying is this is a call to action. this is a wake up call. this is almost a pull revere call saying, we're going to have issues going forward in the next 22 months and we've got to get the folks who are interested in the republican party values back on board and say, let's stand up and pick the battles that we want to pick and win those battles. but what he's saying is it's a very hostile environment. so the republican party is concerned, i think talk radio is concerned. i think independent and conservative outlets are concerned. they're saying, well, how far will this white house go to wipe the debate in a way that is not productive? >> brian: do you believe, in your estimation, that the white house might have more aggressive view than even democrats in the senate and the house? >> i don't know who captured whom. i don't know who the democratic party's back the kidnap victim of. i don't know if the white house has become so progressive that it's taken over the democratic party or the democratic party has taken over the white house. i do know

he doesn't show it to john boehner. i don't think there is anything that obama, having a whiskey or mer lot is not going to change anything. boehner saw the numbers that we have been discussing and said let's get three months on this debt ceiling vote and chuck schumer said we are going to present a budget. that's not such a big deal except where they never present a budget. they don't want to come up with any of the hard choices. every time the democrats do something as obama did on medicare, it's death panels. you have to somehow join hands in order to be able to do this. all the cuts that obama made to medicare, he got blasted for by republicans. >> right. >> good point. >> he got blasted for them by romney. not all the republicans. >> he did decide to use that money to start an entitlement program. it would have been nice to move that money to the side. we will see what happens. you are right. everyone will have to join hands and make the tough choices. the bigger the deal the better the chance to get involved. >> "
